Paedophile hunters have carried out a ten-hour sting on a Hull man after chasing him through the city centre.

Child Online Safety Team say it spent ten hours tracking down the man, who was finally stopped on an unnamed Hull road just before midnight on Sunday.

The team began a Facebook Live recording, shown in the video above, but the suspect had already called the police.

The man recording the final moments of the sting operation claims the man had been attempting to "pimp out a 13-year-old girl".

The team member can be heard on the video saying: “We have collected a lot of intelligence on this guy and he was on his way to Asda to meet an adult for sex.

“But he has been trying to pimp out a 13-year-old girl. This guy is really, really dangerous as he has been soliciting the girl for prostitution which is why we decided to take the risk and follow him.”
